7 Things Women Over 50 Should Stop Doing
Today we are going to be addressing 7 habits, activities and thoughts we believe women over 50 should QUIT. For the full picture, view the video below!
In general, we suggest you stop…
- Taking too much calcium
- Excess calcium builds up in arteries
- Ideal goal is 1200mg TOTAL
- Must have other bone supporting nutrients and lots of plant foods, magnesium and vitamin D and K
- Staying up late
- Sleep is so important and so many women we see don’t get enough
- Stop doing “just one more thing” at night…no more binge watching after a certain time!
- Change your routine
- Dieting
- Yep, unless you want to be on and off diets for the rest of your life, stop getting on that treadmill
- By dieting, you miss out on nutrients
- Eating healthy can easily become a part of your life. As far as food goes, our PM mastery program gives you an easy framework to follow that is geared toward the nutrients we need as “mature” women. For the lifestyle part, you need to figure out how to incorporate it into your own life in a way that doesn’t make you feel deprived
- Thinking you’re too old to . . .
- Change your habits or learn new things. Just not true.
- Eating on the go/not carving out time for meals
- Digestion and absorption of nutrients is crucial to our health and longevity
- So often we are rushing and don’t take time to concentrate on our food and the eating process
- Catering to everyone else and neglecting yourself
- Stop this! This is the time in life for us to put ourselves first!
Finally…
- Saying you don’t have enough time to cook, exercise, etc
- We have a lot to say about this!
- First off, stop saying this cause it only reinforces your brain that it is true
- Look at how much time you spend online, scrolling through facebook or videos (other than ours)
- 2nd, look for shortcuts
- Find quick easy recipes or meal ideas (another one of our superpowers)
